View ChartBitTorrent [New] (BTT) is a utility token designed to power the world's largest decentralized file-sharing protocol, incentivizing network participants for sharing bandwidth and storage resources. It revitalizes the classic BitTorrent protocol by adding economic incentives for file sharing and network participation.
BTT is the native utility token of the BitTorrent ecosystem, built on the TRON blockchain and its scaling solution, BitTorrent Chain (BTTC). It incentivizes users to share their bandwidth and storage, aiming to create a faster, more efficient decentralized content delivery network. The token is used for payments within the ecosystem, including for faster download speeds and rewards for seeders. BTT operates on a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism via the TRON network.

The BitTorrent protocol was originally created by Bram Cohen in 2001. The BTT token was launched in 2019 by the BitTorrent Foundation after the protocol was acquired by the TRON Foundation, led by Justin Sun. The development and ecosystem growth are now overseen by the decentralized BitTorrent DAO. The project aims to integrate blockchain technology into the existing peer-to-peer network, creating a tokenized economy around file sharing.
BTT functions as the economic layer on top of the BitTorrent protocol. It uses smart contracts on the TRON blockchain and its scaling solution, BTTC, to facilitate transactions.
BTT's primary value proposition lies in its massive existing user base and practical use case.
BTT serves as the payment and reward medium within the BitTorrent universe.
The BTT ecosystem is continuously expanding beyond its core file-sharing roots.
BTT is not mined in the traditional Proof-of-Work sense. As a token on a DPoS blockchain, new BTT is minted through block production and distributed as rewards.
Securing your BTT involves standard cryptocurrency safety practices.
BTT is a popular cryptocurrency listed on many exchanges. However, it is recommended to trade on a major platform for higher liquidity and better customer support.
